Fasching finally had a good shift.

Nico has been invisible. Karamba- a-check set up Blackwell crossing the blue line who beat them with a writer. Nice play by Pu.

Good rush by Bailey.

Nylander with a good hit. Blackwell again.

Nylander decked himself out.

Passes are better.

Good shift by Bailey. Score!! Blackwell.

No flow to the game from our guys. Most of their passes were in the skates. They we're the second best team out there but got out of the period tied. Hope they relax a bit and play hockey.

Agreed!

Whatever he brings, I'm thinking 35 points, is a bonus. He brought us Scandella, who will help our team improve.

My daughter and I used Uber in Britain this summer. She had the App and had used it before. Every experience was good. Subway was the cheapest, but did not go everywhere. Buses were also cheap, but a bit slower due to transfers and traffic. Taxis had the best conversations but were expensive compared to Uber.sing I plan on using it for the WJHC game at New Era field.

Too bad we lost Carrier due to him being a left handed shot. Bailey, Baptiste, Fasching or Rodrigues may have to play their off wing. I like Baptiste the most, probably from watching him in the OHL.

I see him as a 2 way #3 centre. My comparable is Igor Larionov, not physical or fast but smart and always in the right spot. A lot of his scoring will come on the PP, he could even QB the second unit. He's been used as a net front presence on the first unit, but that is not his best skill. Larionov was behind Yzerman and Fedorov but was effective in his role.

This is what comes to mind when I see Baloo. https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71yljRziScL._SL1118_.jpg

Our new D-men and the "old" ones under a different system. Lehner in prove it mode.

I hope that is his attitude. If Antipin does not pan out then he could fit into that slot next year.

Folks, first off I love this draft pick and he seems like a keeper. I think he can be special. But... Cody Hodgson led the 2009 WJHC tournament in scoring with 16 points in 6 games.

McJesus walks on water. Auston Moses has parted it and is leading Leaf nation to the promised land. Leafs dominate our national media. Thank goodness for the internet so I can follow my team.

I hope we make a pitch to him. He'll go where he thinks he can crack the line-up.

We could have three winners under contract: Jack Eicheil Kevin Porter Casey Mittelstadt

Keep in mind that Bobby Orr was never captain. Gordie Howe was captain for only 5 of his 25 years with the Red Wings. Guy Lafleur was never a captain. I'm not opposed to Jack as captain, I just don't see it as automatically earned and whether he has the "soft skills". I hope if Jack is named captain that he gets solid assistants. Gretzky was captain of the Oilers even though Messier has a leadership award named in his honour.

I lean towards ROR because I'm not sure if Jack is ready. Does he have the ability to deal with the media? Is his work ethic off the charts? Does he take youngsters under his wing? Is he the right go between between players and staff? Maybe Jack checks all of the boxes and is good to go. If a vote goes to someone else, I would hope he doesn't pout.

I liked how Phil's eyes lit up when asked about Scandella.

My hunger for Sabres hockey compelled me to watch the 3 on 3. I thought Asplund was the best player. Good passes, a couple of goals (1 shootout). A few good steals and his defensive awareness was nice to observe. I see some Zetterberg in him. Fasching was our best of the AHL wingers. Protected the puck well and created some offense. Playing with Asplund helped too. Guhle was well suited for this format, a true rover. He made a good back check on a Bailey break. Mittlestadt looked good, stick handling and skating are solid. Ukka-Pekka Luukonen looks like a good goaltending prospect. Didn't lead his team to success but he made some nice saves. Arturi Laaksonen showed some nice mobility and wasn't as scrawny as I thought. Erik Autio was on a good team but had some highlights. Good invite and someone to watch at Penn State. I expected more from Bailey, Baptiste and Nylander, but realize this is a short, summer development camp 3 on 3 tourney.

Good background on this guy. He's seen all of Canada's top talent over the last 4 years as well as other country's top guys at the tournaments.
